Default Question for Commutair pilots

Is it true you will no longer land on runway 15L/33R at BWI? If so, what the heck?

I haven't heard that. that being said if we want to land on the longer one everytime, there's nothing wrong with that.

That is correct, we are no longer allowed to until further notice. 2 tail-strikes within a few weeks of each other on 33R...

5000ft? Doubt that was the cause for tail strike. Thought dashes can land on 3000ft runway no problem. Maybe it's the same guy

Were the tail strikes in the -300's? Easy to do.

Do you have to land -300 at Max? Can you land any at -900 props?

So how is the longer runway supposed to solve tailstrikes? Have y'all been told to stay faster after the fence? Make carrier landings?
